Report: Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone vs. Matt Brown To Be Added To UFC 206 PPV

It looks like UFC 206 is slowly but surely becoming the unofficial “UFC 205 replacement card.”

In addition to Rashad Evans vs. Tim Kennedy being moved to next month’s UFC pay-per-view event in Toronto, Ontario, Canada following a medical issue that came up during Evans’ examination with the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC), Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone’s replacement fight has also been booked for the show.

According to Damon Martin, and later a report by Ariel Helwani at MMAFighting.com, Cerrone will be joining the UFC 206 fight card with a new opponent — “The Immortal” Matt Brown.

Cerrone was scheduled to fight former TUF Champion Kelvin Gastelum tomorrow night until Gastelum badly missed weight at this morning’s official UFC 205 weigh-ins. As a result, UFC pulled the fight from tomorrow’s card in New York City, and UFC President Dana White vowed to never let Gastelum fight at 170-pounds again.

Featuring Daniel Cormier vs. Anthony “Rumble” Johnson 2 for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship, Anthony Pettis vs. Max Holloway, the aforementioned Rashad Evans vs. Tim Kennedy and now Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone vs. Matt Brown fights, UFC 206: Cormier vs. Johnson is scheduled to take place on Saturday, December 10th from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Join us here at MMANews.com on 12/10 for live round-by-round results coverage of the UFC 206 pay-per-view.
